By default, the computer you designate as a management server listens on port number 9001 for communication from UNIX agents and on port 9999 for communication from Windows agents. You can modify these default ports during installation or by modifying the registry on the management server after installation.
To change the port numbers where the management server listens:
On the management server computer, from the Windows start menu, click Run, then type regedt32.exe to start the Registry Editor.
Expand the HKey_Local_Machine\Software\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQms registry key.
Doubleclick Port to change the port for Windows agents or Unix Port to change the port for UNIX agents.
Select the Decimal option to display the current value in decimal format.
Type the port number you want to use.
Click OK.
For this change to take effect, you need to restart the computer.
After you change the registry entry for the Windows computer where the management server is installed, you also need to update the agent computers with the appropriate information.
For Windows agents, modify the registry key HKey_Local_Machine\Software\NetIQ\ AppManager\4.0\NetIQmc\NetIQms Port.
For UNIX agents, you can change the port using UNIX Agent Manager, you can edit the default configuration file, nqmcfg.xml, or you can create a new configuration file. For more information, see the AppManager for UNIX Servers Management Guide, available on the AppManager Modules Documentation page.
